AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed lower court rulings that suspended a pension based on employment income. The applicant argued that ZUS officials incorrectly informed her that employment earnings did not affect her pension rights. The court held that pension suspension only applies to income from creative activities, not standard employment wages.
